From reading your posts so far i am forced to conclude you are simply wrong on your statements and arguments. I get the impression you are living in some kind of magical fairy land where Mages can blink through pillars, avoid Mana Burns without hiding behind over their damage *completely*, and reliably beat 7/9 classes that you would find in arena at a respectable rating.

You actually come up with the arguement that Sl/SL locks can be beaten with use of pillars. Do we play the same game here? Pillars are SO much more advantageous to Warlocks and Healers than for us so what kind of argument is that? It seems you are simply arguing for the sake of arguing now that you are met with clear examples of why you are wrong.

Please, tell us how to counter: mana burn & flash heal.
Take mana burn? You are oom before him, you are useless and basically a useless walking corpse.

Silence mana burn? Priest switches to healing, you can't outdamage his heals even with that imba shatter combo on a 450 resil priest with renews ticking and shields on and now immune to crits, and you will go oom as well.

And you end up running round a pillar like morris dancers, doing nothing. When the mage catches the priest eventually, he has to cast. No choice. You cant take down a priest without casting - if you rely on instants, you just cannot burn down enough health to make a CS/burst meaningful. While you cast, the priest burns. You CS, the priest heals (outhealing you with far more mana efficiency than your damage against resilience). You LOS, he LOS's, but he heals up with a renew and you dont. The only escape is drinking, which requires you to be out of combat, which most priests wont let you (trinket/SW:D/Pet).

In a 1v1 direct, head on battle with no LOS, a priest will simply outheal everything you throw at him, with superior mana efficiency due to resilience. As i said before, pillars make this WORSE.

While the priest is behind a pillar, he's regening mana and health nicely. When he wants to, he pops out and does his thing, then hides again.
